Shaping Our Future Travel: The New York City Connected Vehicle Pilot for Safer Transportation

New York City is one of three connected-vehicle pilot-deployment sites selected by the United States Department of Transportation to demonstrate the benefits of connected-vehicle technology. The other two are in rural Wyoming and the city of Tampa, Florida. This article describes how this pilot expands upon New York's decades-long efforts to deploy technology to help mobility and improve safety, moving New York closer to its Vision Zero goals of eliminating traffic deaths and reducing crash-related injuries and property damage. New York's unique challenges related to collecting and transmitting data in a complex urban environment are discussed.
